Sustainable Transportation in Melbourne

2.
Sustainable transportation
“The provision of services and infrastructure for the
mobility of people advancing economic and social
development to benefit today’s and future generations
in a manner that is safe, affordable, accessible,
efficient, and resilient, while minimizing carbon and
other emissions and environmental impacts.” (Mobilizing
Sustainable Transport for Development, 2016)

3.
Target & Indicator
11.2 By 2030, provide access to safe, affordable, accessible and
sustainable transport systems for all, improving road safety, notably
by expanding public transport, with special attention to the needs of
those in vulnerable situations, women, children, persons with
disabilities and older persons
11.2.1 Proportion of population that has convenient access to
public transport, by sex, age and persons with disabilities

21.
Promote Telecommuting in the Public Sector
Allow for 4+1 or 3+2 work weeks (4/3 days in office 1/2
days telecommute) where viable
Reduces traffic congestion
Improved efficiency and quality of life for employees
Symbolic action - Public Sector acting as signaler - Nearly
240,000 public employees in Victoria

23.
Non-motorized Transport CBD Experience
Reduce speed limit in CBD from 40km/h to 30km/h and from 60km/h
and 50km/h to 40km/h
Lower speed limits in these areas will save lives and prevent and reduce the amount of casualty accidents every year. A
pedestrian hit by a vehicle travelling at 50km/h is four times more likely to be killed or seriously injured than if hit at
40km/h. (Melbourne.vic.gov.au)
Increased pedestrian street crossing time
Experiment with additional pedestrian-only zones
Public service campaigns to raise awareness and promote safe use of
shared-use roadways
Increased fines and policy enforcement for private vehicle infractions

Conclusions
The first barrier to overcome are social norms and behaviors
Melbourne must bridge immediate needs with long-term Plan Melbourne 2050
The increasing population, and diversity of the population, creates unique
challenges
More sustainable transport will require a shifting use, improving efficiency, and
avoiding unnecessary transport
